Addiction, The Lifestyle, The Recovery
Star light...Star bright... I wish I may...I wish I might. Well, you know how the saying goes and it was going to take a lot more than a wish upon a star to change my life. My mind was clouded from years of drug abuse and my senses were dulled. I seemed to have absolutely no emotion left at all. Was I destined to live the rest of my life like this? I often prayed that I would be the next to die. I wondered why I had survived so long in the first place. I never thought that I would have made it past my twenties and at this point I was nearing forty. What was my purpose? Would I ever find out? Would I ever make it to fifty? Did I even want to?
My life had become so much more than a living nightmare. I could not believe that I had wasted so many years of my life chasing drugs and falling into one bad relationship after another. Johnny was out of my life but I just invited other men along for the ride. Now that my grandmother had passed away, I knew that my days were numbered before I had to move out of the back house. I would have to find a place of my own and it was about time. I needed to get my shit together. What I really needed was to find a new life. Was it too late for that? Was there any hope left for me? Any at all? Had I burned every bridge and killed every single opportunity?
